3-D modelling is maturing fast. Increasingly affordable solutions are not only raising general awareness of 3D workflows but revolutionizing design, engineering and manufacturing processes. The case ...

The technology works by sending out a low-power infrared laser beam, which sweeps over an object or scene. Some light gets reflected back, though most is scattered in different directions. A detector ...

HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS, CAPTURING A ONE DIMENSIONAL LIKENESS OF THE AREA THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY. PUTTING CRIME SCENE EVIDENCE INTO A 360 DEGREE CONTEXT.

A new portable device combines laser scanning technology with cameras to create precise 3D images in colour. It could be used for everything from infrastructure inspection to construction to robot ...

This just into PCWorld/Macworld Labs: the new HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275, which is a color laser multi-function printer with what I call a scanner-on-a-stick. It’s a camera on an elevated arm that ...

[Rik]’s Hexastorm laser scanner project originally used a discrete polygon mirror controller+motor module from Sharp to spin a prism. But the scanner head was a bit difficult to assemble and had a lot ...

MIT Media Lab is developing a new camera that can see around corners using a concept similar to a CAT scan. MIT Media Lab is developing a new camera that can see around corners using a concept similar ...

Laser processing systems often rely on galvanometer-based scan heads to position the laser beam with exceptional speed and precision. Increasingly, applications also require vision systems for ...
